GREET HOMESEEKERS. Committee Appointed to Meet Trnlns Bearing Eastern Folk Who Wish to Settle in Oregon. The Board of Trade yesterday decided to adopt a regular system. In welcoming newcomers who arrive by homeseekers' train, and for that purpose a committee of 20 was appointed. The first five mem bers are, Dan McAllen, "W. M. Killings worth, J. E. Staples, L. M. Parrlsh and B.. G. Ashley. The duties of this com mittee will be to meet the strangers at the Grand Central Station and call on them at the various hotels, present each with an "Oregon Pocket Book," and im part all the information and encourage ment possible. The idea is that of Mr. Klllingsworth, who In speaking on the subject at the meeting said: "This board Is long on money but short on enthusiasm, and we need workers, as well as members. By calling on these new people and extend ing the hand of welcome, we will do much toward making them feel at home, and besides can direct them the best way to look for locations according to their occupations and means." The suggestion was considered a good one and President Ccnnell lost no time in appointing the first Five members who will be added to by Mr. Klllingsworth as that gentleman finds members who are willing to devote one evening a week to the cause. A proposition was received from Seat tle, in which the people of that city deslre Portland to share in advertising the resources of the Northwest in the New York Commercial Advertiser, by publishing a page of views from this region. Messrs. McAllen, Klllingsworth and McKenzIe werfe appointed a commit tee to receive the agent of the paper, who will arrive here from Seattle in a few days. A communication was read from tne Travelers Protective Association of Port land, asking the cc operation of the Board of Trade in behalf of Senate bill Xo. 1SS. now pending In Congress. This bill seeks to create a new Cabinet posi tion called the Secretary of Commerce and Industry. The matter was referred to the present secretary and treasurer of the board, who will report at the next meeting, Thursday, February 2S, at 1:15 P. M. give a new and direct strAt Vrm Trnn.

The prodigal son In real life was en acted in the Municipal Court vestordav by A. H. Severson, 19 years old, dirty. ragged, and arrested for obtaining board from the Portland Medical Mission by means of a forged order purporting to be signed by the Standard Box Factory. Severson had been In prison for two days, he looked as if he had not had a bath for three months, his clothing was in shreds, and his feet peeped through his boots. He said: "I'm a tramp, and I've been seeing life. Parted from the old man- six months ago, and have been hoeing my own row since. I've studlec law, and I've been a typewriter and book keeper In different cities. For forging that orded I'm sorry." "You have been In trouble for this sorl of thing before, who are your people?" asked Municipal Judge Cameron "I was born in Portland, and my adopt ed father owns land on Morrison street near Fifth, from which he derives about $500 per month," replied Severson. "We parted In anger. Let me go this once, and I'll try and act on the square." Parrlsh & Watklns, agents for the pris oner's father, were telephoned for, and Mr. Watklns came over and greeted Severson pleasantly, saying: "If you wanted money, why didn't you come to the office, or see your father?" Mr. Wat kins then paid Severson's board bill, and on the young man promising to reform, he was discharged and left the court, with seining eyes to find his father. An old man in the court room who had seen better days murmured In the hear ing of a reporter: "Father, I have sin ned ... in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son."

Knife Wn Driven In a. SInntlnp: Di rection, and Passed Above and Below the Jufirulnr Vein. William, alias "Flashy" Wall, 2C years old, was stabbed behind the left ear by an unknown Chinaman, on Second street, near Alder, last night. The Chinaman escaped. Chinatown was filled by a big crowd, expecting to see how the Chinese cele brated New Tear, and several toughs, under the Influence of liquor, openly bad gered every Chinaman they met. Wall singled out a Chinaman and pulled his queue, but the Celestial, seeing that his assailant was intoxicated, walked on. Wall ran after him, calling him names. The Chinaman drew a knife, and stabbed Wall behind the ear, just missing the jugular vein. Wall dropped and the China man jumped Into a crowd of his country men, and was lost to sight. The holiday crowd scattered in alarm, and Wall cried out: "I'll fight every cmnk In Portland." Wall's companions carried him to a drug store and telephoned for the police. Police Surgeon Gillespie dressed the wound. It was found the Chinaman had driven the knife In a slanting direction, so that it cut above and below the jugular. Wall was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where his wound was attended to. He will re cover, unless blood poisoning sets in. The police say Wall has recently lived In different Whltechapel lodging-houses, and that he has been arrested several times for drunkenness and fighting. expensive The two cottages on Kerby strcet are surrounded by a stone wall, and the concrete sidewalk on Kerby street has been extended in front of the church on "Russell street, which is a great advantage to the church. The buildings and im provements cost about $10,000. WILL TRY TWO CABLES. Built Four Dwellings. George W. Bates has just completed the last two cottages of the four he has built In the rear of the Central Methodist Church on Russell and Kerby streets. The first two facing on Russell street were finished some time ago. Mr. Bates was compelled to cut away the bluff In the rear of the church to make room for the four dwellings, and the work was Steamship Almond Branch May Be Moved With Her Own Power. The attempts which have been made lo pull the steamship Almond Branch away from her position against the Morrison street bridge resulted in nothing but the breaking of hawsers and In demonstrat ing the futility of moving such an Im mense craft, subjected to broadside pres sure from a strong current! by the use of any ordinary towboats. At a consultation between the County Commissioners, the captain of the steam ship and H. C. Campbell, superintendent of the City & Suburban Railway Com pany, It was decided that the most prac ticable scheme for moving the huge craft was by means of cables attached to one of the piers of the Madison-street bridge and the piling at Wolff & Zwlcker's Iron Works, and connected with the steam winches on board the ship. The Board of Commissioners, after being assured by competent engineers that no harm could result, gave permission for a 2-inch wire cable to be placed around one of the piers of the Madison-street bridge, down on the bottom d the river, and permission has been given to attach a similar cable to the piling at Wolff & Zwlcker's works, and these will be placed in position as quickly as possible. As soon as they can be made taut by the forward and after winches on the steamship, the strain on the Morrison-street bridge will be relieved and then by starting up her engines and putting her helm hard a-starboard, and backing her. it will be possible to get her stern turned up stream and finally get her clear of the bridge. If the winches and cables are strong enough this scheme may prove successful, bult it Is hard to tell what effect the Im mense pressure of the current on the broadside of the ship may exert to frus trate the plan. It is to be hoped that it may prove successful. If It does not, the steamer will probably have to He where she is until the river falls several feet. TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL.

The effort to get all the principal streets in Lower Alblna improved has failed. It was desired to get Goldsmith and all other streets between It and the river Im proved, so that better access could be had to the ferry, but the property-owners would not sign the petitions and the mat ter "has been dropped for the present. George W. Bates, who tried to get the improvements under way, says the property-owners have made a serious mistake in not allowing the work to proceed, as the condition of the streets will drive business elsewhere. Goldsmith street has Decome almost impassable In Uppor Albina the Improvement of Vancouver avenue from Russell to McMillan streets Is considered assured.

Leonora Jackson Won His Favor From the First. When Leonora Jackson went abroad to Berlin to study under Dr. Joachim, tho greatest of Hvlns violinists, she won his deep Interest from the first. Already, after her first Winter of study there, he wrote of her prophetically: "Miss Leo nora Jackson has impressed me deeply with her talent. She plays with genuine expression and displays a command of her Instrument most unusual at her age. If she continues to study she cannot fall to become a violinist of the greatest emi nence." This was written May 7, 1S93. Thanks to her kind friends In America and her cwn plucky efforts (aided always by her mother and her brother with ideal devotion) she was able to study on, and by October 17. 1E06. we find her at her debut taking Berlin by storm, the first of a series of wonderful triumphs. The de hnt wn -re-Jth thp Philharmonic Orches tra, which her great master honored by conducting.

The bill was pushed through by a lot of Portland barbers who wished to go hunting and for picnics on that day, and not through any reverence for the day. These barbers expect other businesses to remain open on Sunday; stores, saloons, livery stables, etc., con tinue to remain open and why should a special law have been passed for the bar bers? It will work a hardship with the barbers In the country towns, whose best business day Is on Sunday, as a large number. If they cannot get their work done then, will do it themselves.

Milton Eagle. It does not require a very observing eye to .notice the enormous Increase of jaclo rabbits and squirrels as the coyotes are killed off. The fact of the matter Is that the coyote Is one of the best friends the farmer has. The chickens or a sheep that he may get occasionally Is nothing as compared with the good work he does In keeping down other pests. After tho coyotes are exterminated it will be In or der to offer squirrel bounties, jackrabblt bounties, and the Lord only knows what next.
